Thanks for the Teaser last week Wendy, there were lots of lovely watercolours on the blog and on the forum, thank you to everyone who joined in!

The Tanda Teaser this week is called 'Going round in circles'! Anyone reading the forum will know that this is totally apt for me this week...(believe it or not this theme was planned a few weeks ago...note to self....must think of some titles that are "nice" and perhaps they will happen!)

On this week's example card I have used stamps from the TandaStamps Retro man set 1, transport set 1 and the crackle stamp from background set 2. The card uses the Craft Stamper sketch challenge for layout and brusho and bleach techniques for the backgrounds. What you can't see in the photo is the text in the horizontal bar..."trains and boats and planes"...hence also a song lyric theme...but you don't need to do that...just circles!

Thanks for the Teaser last week Wendy, I love using vellum! We had great cards shared on the forum and the blog!

Sorry about having to post really early again....got to go to a funeral tomorrow morning....so I just needed to make sure you guys know what you're doing!

The Tanda Teaser this week is Easter/Spring based, so if you want to join in use something to do with Easter, but if you don't celebrate that use something that means spring to you!

For this week's example card I have used stamps from TandaStamps Claris Cliff set 1, I have to admit though that I asked Andrew to make the square out of the corner crocus stamp and the border out of the straight crocus stamp...I'm sure if you asked him nicely he would make you custom stamps too!!! You could get the same effect using a stamp positioner.....but trust me it's much easer to call Andrew!!
